The Triassic is such an underrated time period.I want a 3 part documentary series about it. It would be so cool to see someone going back in time, Nigel Marven style.
I just love how Archosaurs have been the top predator in both the Mesozoic Era and the Cenozoic Era. You got Barinasuchus in the Cenozoic, and you got T.Rex in the Mesozoic. Archosaurs are really just the OG’s when it comes to dominating environments.
It's amazing that crocodylomorphs not only dominated the dinosaurs during their early days in the Triassic but their relatives also dominated the mammals during their early days as well (The biggest land carnivore during the Cenozoic era was the Barinasuchus)
You know technically even though it's semi aquatic the salt water crocodile is the largest terrestrial predator today although you know it's semi aquatic and very slow on land. Just food for thought.😊
I never knew this. Another fascinating story. Archosaurs that were not dinosaurs but more crocodile like dominating the triassic. But then an extinction event. This is as fascinating as when I found out about Synapsids dominating the permian until an extiction event.
13:00 Funny you should mention it, just watched Walking With Dinosaurs a couple days ago, and it's been on my stack to watch for at least 5 years or more
Correction, Herrerasaurus is not currently considered a Theropod anymore, but rather a basal Saurischian that diverged from both Sauropods and Theropods very early on into its own group, Herrerasauridae, along with Staurikosaurus, Gnathovorax, and Sanjuansaurus. And Gojirasaurus is no longer considered valid, due to it likely being a chimera between Coelophysis and Shuvosaurus
ExtinctZoo I'm really happy that you talked about Trassico and its inhabitants😁 nice that you talked about the Rauisuchians, I love them so much for their unique biology, which is why I'm not surprised that they were the Masters of those lands.
Therapsids who survived the Great Dying: HAHAHA! I’m alive. Rauisucians: Diversifying in the Triassic. Therapsids: 💀 Basically the Triassic in a nutshell
People who loved dinosaurs as large scaly monsters, should really learn more about these Triassic predators. Because while theropods often weren't these giant scaly monsters, Rauusuchians were. And it's funny how Razanandrongobe and Barinasuchus, though not belonging to Rauisuchians, pretty much became the same kind of monsters way after the Triassic.
Large theropods were very likely scaly just like how most large mammals are hairless unless they lived in cold environments like the yutyrannus and the wooly mammoth. After a certain size, the sheer body weight is enough for efficient thermoregulation where feathers or fur are that not necessary.
I completely forgot Gojirasaurus existed lol naturally as a Godzilla fan, the term Gojirasaurus or Godzillasaurus always brings to mind the Heisei Godzilla's unmutated form.
@ExtinctZoo - Say, you have this awesome animated graphic showing land masses, their configurations, and all manner of stuff about terrain starting around 16:13 in your video. Where can a person find such a tool? I'd love to look more into it!
Wow, this video is absolutely fascinating! It's mind-blowing to think about how certain animals were able to dominate even the mighty dinosaurs. The way you explained their adaptations and survival strategies was so engaging and informative. This really gives a whole new perspective on prehistoric life. Great job on the visuals and narration - can't wait to see more content like this
I love theropod dinosaurs, but some of these psudosuchian relatives look to be amazing animals in their own right. Fasolasuchus in particular stole my heart.
Another thing to consider about the CAMP extinction was that, assuming that current theories about dinosaur-rauisuchian distributions are correct, the primary areas where rauisuchians were most dominant (i.e. the tropics of Pangaea) were also the areas most directly impacted by the CAMP, either through being literally covered in lava, or through ash falls, gas eruptions, etc. poisoning their landscape. Whereas dinosaurs were most heavily concentrated closer to the poles, avoiding much of the direct impacts of the CAMP eruptions. Those additional stresses on key rauisuchian (and presumably other pseudosuchian) habitats might well have been the difference between their extinction and the dinosaurs' survival.
The crocodilian side of the Archosaur tree is in my view even more exciting than the dinosaurs. The various groups look a bit like how dinosaurs were envisioned back in Victorian times, very cool creatures!
Any chance the sail could be for additional balance with the tail or aiding in agile movements or sharp turns? EDIT: Sort of a stabilizing factor on land as the fin is for the shark in water.
Out of curiousity, given their general build and the lack of bite force is there any possibility of convergent evolution between the Rauisuchians and komodo dragons? There could be evidence fossilised in the form of particularly enlarged olfactory centres in the brain cavity and/or enlarged cavities associated with salivary glands. In komodo dragon's the same property of not needing a large bite force and primarily evolving teeth geometry ideal for serration holds true with the intent of introducing the anti-coagulant venom in the saliva into their prey. Any adaptions suggesting persistance hunting and high stamina would also be good indicators of this sort of hunting style.
Actually the entire monitor lizards group convergent evolved to be like early archosaurs. The rauisuchians were a lot more armored and more heavily built than any modern modern monitor lizards but the very early archosaurs were very much similar to the modern monitor lizards. Whi knows what the monitor lizards could become in the future. They are the most likely animals that are most likely to create dinosaur like animals in the future.
A reason they could have died off with those eruptions is that since they were at the top of the food chain, in general, just all over the place, that they were the most susceptible to dying off once climate change went into effect. We see this today, species at the top of the food chain are usually the first to completely die off of conditions change, since it's their food, and their foods' food, that are not being fed. Just my two cents.
Imagine an alternate timeline universe where Mammals or relatives closely related ruled the entire Earth for over two hundred million years instead of Dinosaurs?
Mammals likely wouldnt have developped as they did without dinosaurs. Their rule meant mammals had to evolve for night to avoid the monsters. This gave us better internal temperature regulation, vision, and probably also drove intelligence and reproductive fitness such as live birth. Now that mammals rule, we are beginning to see reptiles slowly develop these traits too.
Dinosaurs are responsible for the evolution of mammals. In your alternate timeline it would be the Synapsids that dominate instead of the dinosaurs. This theory was also very close to becoming a reality because synapsids were recovering and evolving at a fast rate post Permian extinction. It's just that archosaurs were recovering and evolving at a faster rate. It could have gone either way tbh given enough time. The biggest advantage I think the archosaurs had was that they go longer without water.
The screen with the pictures of various Rauisuchians around 1:30 contains a double error: Teratosaurus silesiacus doesn't come from Germany, but from Krasiejów, Poland, and it has been moved to it's own genus: Polonosuchus silesiacus. From Germany, we have the type species Teratosaurus suevicus.
Fun fact, _Fasola_ the prefix in the name of this rauisuchian, and the name of the paleontologist (Tomas H. Fasola) after which it was named, simply means... beans. Like Mr. Beans :D Imagine how funny the name sounds in Polish.
Why don’t you get to think and make a suggestion creating another RUclips Videos Shows that’s all about the Extinct Prehistoric Amphicyons (Bear Dogs) on the next Extinct Zoo coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Actually it's more like this Synapsids>archosaurs permian Archosaurs>Synapsids Mesozoic Synapsids>archosaurs cenozoic Archosaurs>Synapsids??? I think we should watch be watching crocs and birds instead of lizards.
As a fellow Rauisuchian myself, I thank ExtintZoo for representing and informing about Rauisuchians to the public.
Ah, I see you're Rauisuchian of culture as well
I think he made a big mistake in cladistics, in which he placed poposauridae and fasolosuchus in rauisuchian.
As a Rauisucian ally, I too am glad for representation on said channel.
How did you survive for so long? Are you trapped in a pocket of time?
I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was a kid, I’m so glad that I’m getting back into them as an adult.
Me too, they‘re so interesting and I love the megaraptors
i am just intrested in animals and those stuff so dinosaurs are such a topic for me
You never stopped being into them. They were just taking a back seat
Birds are technically dinosaurs and they’re fascinating
@@Emlane09Im bored of most birds but sure, there are plenty birdosaurs even I like :3
The Triassic is such an underrated time period.I want a 3 part documentary series about it. It would be so cool to see someone going back in time, Nigel Marven style.
Oh yeah so fun!
The best paleontology related channel on RUclips
Nah he exaggerate a little too much. Moth Light Media on top
@EzT32 but extinct zoo is more consistent than moth light media
Next to Dino Fax
He’s good but Dr Polaris,PaleoAnalysis and Chimerasuchus are just as good
I just love how Archosaurs have been the top predator in both the Mesozoic Era and the Cenozoic Era. You got Barinasuchus in the Cenozoic, and you got T.Rex in the Mesozoic. Archosaurs are really just the OG’s when it comes to dominating environments.
T rex was in the mesozoic?
@@Hitokiri1912💀 of course it lived in the Cretaceous which is a part of the Mesozoic Era
The salt water crocodile is currently the largest terrestrial predator today so they are still dominating.
It's amazing that crocodylomorphs not only dominated the dinosaurs during their early days in the Triassic but their relatives also dominated the mammals during their early days as well (The biggest land carnivore during the Cenozoic era was the Barinasuchus)
You know technically even though it's semi aquatic the salt water crocodile is the largest terrestrial predator today although you know it's semi aquatic and very slow on land. Just food for thought.😊
I've stumbled upon this channel in early December of 2024 and im already binge watching this channel
Same
Been here a few years he’s pretty awesome
I don’t even care about dinosaurs. He’s just really amusing to zone out to while eating.
Same ❤
Same lol
2:26 "mammalian carnivors"
Proceeds to show us a bird .
Very similar animals obviously
I’m that group
😂
No, WE are that group, Comrade.
@ no just me
😉🙃😆🤣
Real shit??
I never knew this. Another fascinating story. Archosaurs that were not dinosaurs but more crocodile like dominating the triassic. But then an extinction event. This is as fascinating as when I found out about Synapsids dominating the permian until an extiction event.

So the only animals to dominate dinosaurs were related to dinosaurs
damn dinosaurs are OP
There's a reason why we called that group the "Archosaurs"!
Mammals straight up dominate dinosaurs today. No competition.
Humans solo fr fr.
Therapsids who survived the Great Dying: HAHAHA! I’m alive.
Rauisucians: Diversifying in the Triassic.
Therapsids: 💀
Basically the Triassic in a nutshell
Therapsids at Triassic-Jurassic Extinction event: I'll be back
@ Allosaurus: Hasta la Vista Baby.
Therapsids after the Triassic-Jurassic Mass Extinction: HAHAHA! I'm STILL alive!
Dinosaurs: Taking over in the Jurassic.
Therapsids: DAMMIT!
Dinosaurs: Pathetic

I love this channel so much. Something about the content. It's kind of intoxicating.
1:36 nahh bro decided to betraye it's genealogical tree to become a dinosaur 💀
I completely forgot Gojirasaurus existed lol naturally as a Godzilla fan, the term Gojirasaurus or Godzillasaurus always brings to mind the Heisei Godzilla's unmutated form.

I love prehistoric animals before the dinosaurs
Please make more
Good video as always ❤
YESSSS NEW EXTINCTZOO VIDEO!!!
With the Rauisuchians existing and being in the same group as dinosaurs, it's wise to call the mesozoic "the age of archosaurs"
Have you seen walking with dinosaurs? That Postosuchus gets bodied in the first episode 💀
Woke up with some learning on a Saturday
i remember seeing postosuchus in walking with dinosaurs. scared the shit out of me
I like how the background music is like your earlier videos
Dinosaur wanna bes: Hahaha we will be the new dominate
Dinosaurs: Are u sure about that 😉
Jurassic and cretaceous:
3 changes of thumbnail in less than 20 hours is crazy
My brain keeps hearing 'Rowdy-suchian'
Hell yeah! Another terrestrial croc, in the Triassic.
Amazing creatures, i always enjoy watching these vídeos, keep doing this work. In my family i am the only one who believes in dinosaurs.
Mr. When you said the name Fasolasuchus, I bowed down to it!
One of the few channels to cover Rauisuchians and explain them , ExtinctZoo for sure of one if not The Best Paleontology YT channels
The man, the myth, the channel with 5 different thumbnails per upload
Poor Therapsids couldn't catch a break...

Informal and educational love your vids

Banger video❤
Wow! Thanks!
it was me, Barry
Everything you did to her… you did to ME Barry! But if you think that’s the worst thing that I’ve done you’d be mistaken
I would argue that spreading love IS a form of defense.
These are some interesting predators.
Fasolasuchus 🔛🔝

Let’s not forget about the species that dominates modern dinosaurs: cats
Cats are the ultimate predators. The only thing they lack is stamina but they op and weaponised to the max in all other areas.
Phenomenal work
4:08 mfin dr. Doofenshmirtz ahh dinosaur
Great video
Brother how many times is the thumbnail gonna change my mind is jamming up 😭
I loved this amazing video.
Sometimes even dinosaurs got picked on by other animals, especially in their early days.
Land crocs: 🗿🗿🗿
Can u do a video about dimetrodon
This guy sounds like he loves the Buffalo bills
Thank you for this Video.
I like how much the Arizonasaurus resembles retro reconstructions of Spinosaurus
A reason they could have died off with those eruptions is that since they were at the top of the food chain, in general, just all over the place, that they were the most susceptible to dying off once climate change went into effect.

From Germany, we have the type species Teratosaurus suevicus.
Underrated ahh group
11:30 maybe it was dinosaurs that copied them 🤔🤔💬
The same Fasolasuchus that lived from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous in the movie 65, that one?
Whatever was that reptile monster in 65 is debatable
Idk mammals dominate dinosaurs pretty well currently. I am currently eating one as a mammal.
Yeah, the Triassic is why the Mesozoic is not the age of the Dinosaurs, but the age of the Archosaurs.
Fun fact, _Fasola_ the prefix in the name of this rauisuchian, and the name of the paleontologist (Tomas H. Fasola) after which it was named, simply means... beans. Like Mr. Beans :D Imagine how funny the name sounds in Polish.
Ok these chunkers are pretty cute
7:34 what did bro do to them
He went to the wrong pool party
But the museum in America I went to said that humans ruled over dinosaurs when they lived together a few thousand years ago.
Don't listen to creationists. They are sinister people with ulterior motives.
18:02 "Three fourths"?!
In English, we say three quarters.
Three fourths = 75% = three quarters
I swear the thumbnail has changed like 10 times now 😂
Rauisuchians, the Has-Beens that became Never-Agains(unless you count terrestrial crocs)
@7:34 - And here we see what is probably the most dangerous place on Earth.
Was dimetrodon one?
I though how tf does this have only 600+ likes and then I saw it was aploadet 10 mins ago💀
Rise up brothers, glory for the rauisuchian empire!
Is there a reason your videos seem to exactly mirror chimerasuchus' channel?
Make love, not war....craft.
I think you made a big mistake in cladistics, you placed poposauridae and fasolosuchus in rauisuchian.
3 major reptiles aren’t the only marine species ruled the Mesozoic sea but crocodiles: Thalattosuchia, next week. But, please don’t ignore me.
W EXTINCTIONZOO
I wish 65 was a better-made movie.
Is extinct zoo and teir zoo different people
Always found the Permian to be more interesting than the Mesozoic.
That huge head is almost bigger than sone of the largest therapods to live which is wild
Why don’t you get to think and make a suggestion creating another RUclips Videos Shows that’s all about the Extinct Prehistoric Amphicyons (Bear Dogs) on the next Extinct Zoo coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Just imagine being the best animal of millions of years...just to get outdone by a bunch of apes reviewing your reigns
Outdone? That's not how this works.
BITEY BITEY@!!!
I AM HIM!!
Gojirasaurus💀💀💀
First it was Rausuchians > dinosaurs
Then dinosaurs > mammals
And now mammals > lizards
Better watch out for lizards yall
Actually it's more like this
Synapsids>archosaurs permian
Archosaurs>Synapsids Mesozoic
Synapsids>archosaurs cenozoic
Archosaurs>Synapsids???
I think we should watch be watching crocs and birds instead of lizards.
why have i never heard of these?
Went trough three thumbnails just to pick the least interesting one
Gojirasaurus?
Im That Group 😂🎉
